Tutor Green Point, NSW
The most important things a tutor can do for students is to take the steps to give the student a deeper appreciation for their knowledge, and show real world applications for the skills taught. A student is more likely to pay attention if there is something they know they gain from it, rather than just higher grades. My ability to teach on a…

Tutor East Gosford, NSW
I think the most important thing is approaching learning with compassion and patience. It is really important to consider that not everyone learns best with the same teaching style, and can process information at different paces. I think it's important to understand each person's learning style; if they are not understanding what you are saying,…

Being a past past studnet at many various tutoring places, the most important quality for a tutor is to able to incur a friendly yet working relationship with their students.

Tutor Narara, NSW
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to provide guidance and help whenever a student needs it. By providing students with the necessary help on problems that they may be struggling with, they will develop their own approach to solving problems and will eventually solve similar problems without assistance. As a tutor, I believe…

Inside Horsfield BayTutoring Sessions
Content Covered
Year 5 student Yillen worked on converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages, as well as simplifying ratios using worded problems for practice.
In Year 9, Ava focused on applying SOHCAHTOA to find unknown sides in right-angled triangles and solved Pythagoras' theorem questions from her school homework.
Meanwhile, Year 10 student Zoe tackled surface area and volume of cubes along with understanding ratios through real-world examples.
Recent Challenges
A Year 8 student working on trigonometry and bearings often avoided drawing diagrams or writing out steps, especially in worded questions—"she just wanted to rearrange SOHCAHTOA mentally," a tutor noted.
This habit led to confusion when distinguishing angles of elevation from depression.
In Year 11 maths, one student misplaced his calculator and frequently arrived without essential materials, which meant "I had to calculate a few questions for him as he didn't have a calculator handy."
For an older student practicing essay writing (Year 10 English), reluctance to submit written drafts limited feedback opportunities and slowed vocabulary growth.
Recent Achievements
A Horsfield Bay tutor noticed a big shift with one Year 10 student who used to hesitate when stuck, but this week he asked directly for help with tricky homework and even requested extra questions for more challenge.
Another high schooler showed clear progress in rearranging formulas—she caught her own substitution errors before the tutor could point them out, something she struggled with previously.
In a recent Year 5 session, a student who had been confused by fractions was able to multiply two together unprompted and explained each step aloud confidently.

Local Spots for Tutoring
If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Umina Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School.
